Because rooms vary so much in construction it is difficult to predict acoustic behavior by guessing.
There is no need to guess, for less than the price of a pair of modest interconnects or isolation product which may or may not have an effect, a suitable microphone and free download will allow you to determine the problem frequencies and then treat them with absorption. This will have a profound effect which will elevate your system's performance to the point where perhaps a component upgrade that was being considered is now no longer necessary. It is, if done correctly,
The suggestion of crowded bookshelves, curtains, carpets and clutter is no more than guesswork. Adding any or all of these will have an audible effect, unfortunately it probably isn't an improvement. The books will just collect dust and the drapes and carpet are only narrow- band absorbers.
@gaffekait You scoff at my mention of E. Winer. Why is that? He is certainly more on track than Acoustic Fields. Forget the guy's name, Foley or Folly. I could have mentioned the famous acoustician Leo L Beranek but it is very technical and does not make for easy reading. As the OP is clearly not knowledgeable on acoustics, steering him towards Beranek probably would not help. The OP may have no interest in any reading anything so I felt an easy intro into the subject could be to watch a short video.
